Here are some fun things about Ecuador you might not know:

• Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar as its official currency, which makes travel easier for Americans.
• You can visit the “Middle of the World” monument near Quito and stand on the actual equator line.
• Ecuador has more volcanoes per square mile than almost anywhere else — over 40 of them!
• The Panama hat actually comes from Ecuador, not Panama.
• The country is one of the world’s top exporters of bananas, so chances are the bananas you eat might be from here.
• Quito was the first city in the world declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with Kraków in Poland.
